The first-ever Arkheron Fan Art Competition has come to a close, and voting is complete!
To everyone who picked up a brush, stylus, mouse or tablet for our Fan Art Competition: thank you.
When we set out to build the world of Arkheron, we envisioned a realm accentuated with dark, fantastical, and mysterious elements at every turn. Seeing that vision come to life through our talented community’s perspectives has inspired and delighted us. From stylized illustrations and handcrafted sculpture in the Premium Art category, to the chaotically brilliant MS Paint submissions, you exceeded every expectation we had.
Scroll down to see the winning entries, as chosen by the Arkheron dev team. And last but not least: the coveted Fan Favorite winner, selected by a community vote.
